I didn't read a problem in your questions, just a lot of questions that indicated you needed a grounding in fundamental concepts. For that, start with Tony Redmond's book.

I am sure this is probably documented somewhere but I can't seem to find anything that details this specifically. We are not only upgrading our Exchange but upgrading our Win NT machines to W2k. We have 10 servers in total. I have two new servers, which I am using to test the upgrade of W2k and Exchange 2k. I have started from scratch, built these two machines with the same domain name and machine names as my PDC and Exchange Server in my live system. Here comes the question: I am going to install Exchange and then move the mailboxes over. To move the mailboxes over does my old Exchange Server have to be part of my new test domain? If so could I temporarily move my Exchange server to the new domain, do the migration of mailboxes etc and then move it back to my live system? Am I over complicating things here? Thanks in advance!
